VORRYIBC ABOUT THE CANAL County Commissioner ! ) Still Unable to Take Action on the Matter. SEEK ANSWERS TO PUZZLING QUESTIONS tcccBi for a Work Duclili-d On Another Job and Another .Salary Ketabllslicd Unpleasant Tiling * Said About tlio Sheriff-Ilia I-cttor. Sarcasm was at a premium at the meet- ng of the board of county commissioners festerday afternoon. Even the customary adjournment of the board , after the complc- lon of its work , was not taken , but Instead Commissioner Stcuberg made a motion that he hoard take a recess for ono week. The motion carried without opposition. It w.'fs he outcome of a long consultation between he members and tha county attorney over some legal complications which might have arisen bad the board adjourned without vot- ng through a resolution calling a special election for voting upon the question as to whether bonds should be issued for the con structlon of the I'latte canal. It was feared that If the board did not aka a vote on such a resolution and pass It those Interested In the construction of the Platte canal would have mandamused the board to compel Immediate action. The law , so It Is maintained , Is mandatory and re quires the commissioners at their ilrst rigu ar meeting , after a legal petition la pre sented asking for an election on the canal question , to pass a resolution calling for one. The county commissioners are still In deep water respecting the sufficiency and legality of the provisions of the- canal law and have been for a week investigating the subject through attorneys. The fact that ths board took a recess is looked upon as a favorable ndlcatlon that the committee of the whole , which has the subject under advisement , may be ready to report by next Saturday for or against tha special election. MADE ANOTHER SALARY. A motion was made.byrJenklns that T. W. Hotchklss , who hascdurlng the winter had charge of the coal yard'l ) e appointed assist ant In the county store. This caused a lively discussion. , ' Stenberg opposed appQUitlng any more assistants , declaring that the salary sheet now amounted to $175 a month and should not be Increased. lit ) Would have the store shut up half a day'the'balance ' ' to be spent by the storekeeper Jn , i/ivcstlgatlng charity cases. The expense , -lio thought , was so use less and unnecessary that he was surprised It should be proposed tp incur It. Jenkins defended , tn'e' ' ' resolution on the ground that Inspectqr .Funuss was about to leave , and as there were 1.100 applicants still on the list and Uhe'list ' Is being rapidly revised and reduced , a 'temporary ' appoint ment should be madi , , , " Williams declared , lt vpuld be an outrage on the taxpayers to Qrder < jthe additional help. Sutton said he would bo willing to reconsider the question at any tlnie , but would now vote for It. The resolution carried , Jenkins , Sut ton and Ltvesey voting for It. A bill for J72 In tbe Sam Payne case , which SerlfT Drexel had presented several weeks ago , when It was rejected , again came up and caused some warm observations by Commissioner Jenkins. The sheriff himself , In hi * letter , gave Uie board some InterestIng - Ing reading , stating that Payne had been taken to Lincoln at the time of the threat ened lynching by himself without consulting the board , as he deemed the situation peril ous. The bill was Incurred for the trip. The sheriff also told the board that he could not use part of the Jail for a sheriff's office , as the board had suggested when he asked for more accommodations a short time since , because the jailer needed these quarters , especially so now that the sheriff's jail force bad been cut down. Regarding remarks In a recent committee report made to the county board In which It WAS hinted that tbe sheriff should attend to his own business , Sheriff Drexel responded caustically that ho was and hud too much of it , in fact , to meddle In other people's affairs. FILED THE LETTER AWAY. St ° nberK , after the letter had been read , declaied that the sheriff had sent In his bill for keeping Payne and the whole bill had been allowed at the rate of 35 cents a day. This extra was too late for consideration. Jenkins made remarks on the communica tion , stating that the board was justified In having called attention to the sheriff's stric tures on a county official , referring to the demand made by Sheriff Drexel that Ruan , assistant auditor , be discharged , at the time li ? attacked the methods of bookkeeping pur sued by Clerk Moorcs and the sheriff. On motion the letter of the sheriff was filed away. The county board carried a resolution agreeing to sign the petition already signed by property owners on Center street to the extent of 7COO feet of abutting property , ask ing that the street car company be allowed to lay Its track extension without pavement of the trackage on Center street. The canal committee was given further Ime to report. C. E. Stephenson's resignation as county urso was accepted. Reports on fees wera received from the lounty treasurer and district clerk. The tramway communication was referred .o the committee of the whole. The letter amo from Colonel Pratt asking concessions lor the Omaha-Fremont tramway route. Dalla Fox Bouquets smoke long. ATTRACTIONS OF THE WEEK. : 'rctty Delia 1'ox In "ilio i.lttlii Troopo- " Kino KIlBlcr In ItojHTlolrr. Business acumen and Judgment go for a great deal , no matter In what direction It nay be applied. It Is often said that a n Oman's Intuition Is superior to a man's udgment and the theatrical world Is still discussing a most remarkable confirmation of his idea. The case in point is the really phenomenal success of Delia Fox In her first season as a star. When tha sprightly llttlo beauty first announced her determination to star this season the wiseacres all shook tholr heads and advised her not to do so. She had denuded herself so thoroughly with Do Wolf ilopper that she was practically a co-star with him , and as Ilopper was the popular "dot of New York nnd played long engage ments there every season It meant for her very little travel and a really enormous salary generally considered as the moat comfortable and substantial position in which an actress can be placed. Her friends urged ler not to travel the same path so many had done before her give up such a position for the uncertainty and expensive glory of star ring. But she shook her natural golden locks and would not bo swerved from her purpose. Her success Is now a matter of record , but the success Is not alone hers. Indeed It has developed two others In almost the same degree. In tha make-up of her company her Intuition came Into play un erringly. First , and of the utmost Impor tance , she selected her manager , young , but experienced , vigorous , progressive , up-to-date. Breaking the record for the season in every liou&o they bate palyed In IB tha best criterion by which to judge the wisdom of her selec tion In that direction. The most Important Individual In a comic opera organization after the prlma donna Is the comedian. Generally ho U the first consideration , aa witness Francis Wilson , Do Wolf Hopper and Sea- brooke. Aided by the manager's judgment her Intuition was again rolled upon , and for her principal comedian she chose Jefferson D'Angells , long a principal comedian. supportIng - Ing other comedians with the McCaull and Casino companies. When the \\lseacres ad vised her not to star they could not have counted upon her having such a comedian and such a manager to support her. Now they know that she measures no more around the brim of her hat than she did when she leaped Into fame In a single night her first appearance before a New York audience. Rare beauty and brains are certainly united In Delia Fox , and her appearance at the Boyd on tonight ( Sunday ) and the two following evenings Is most pleasantly anticipated , Eflle Ellsler , assisted by Frank Weston , Robert Drouet and a competent company , will ba seen at Boyd's theater three nights and Saturday matinee , beginning Thursday , April 25 , presenting "Hazel Klrlte , " her earliest success , "Doris , " nnd a comedy en titled "A Woman's Power. " The first will 1)0 given Thursday evening nnd Saturday matinee. Miss Ellsler has been the Hazel Klilte of the theatrical world so long that it li still somewhat of n novelty to think of her In another role , but she has played In many and been uniformly excellent In all , still In the minds of n great number of theatergoers Hazel Is still regarded as being her greatest performance. The only perform ance of "Dorla" will bo given Friday even- Ing. This play was presented here last sea son before audiences that received It with every manifestation of favor. "Doris" Is Judiciously devised and well written and Is destined to become popular with lovers of legitimate drama. Miss Ellsler Invests her performance of thp heroine with Infinite grace.Her pathos Is delightfully true to nature. It does not seem to be forced tear fulness. It seems at times to be heartbreak. It H something that comes from the Individu ality of tlio woman which cannot bo esti mated , and which when felt will not be easily forgotten. Mlsa Ellsler deserves the greatest praise for her perfect acting. In every sense It Is realistic , but much of her success Is dua to her perfect air of refinement and de- ll&'atful stage presence , which enables her to perfectly portray the character of "Doris. " The present cast Is said to be In many re spects stronger than last year. "A Woman's Power , " arranged by Robert Drouot , will bo presented Saturday night. The play b'liows the talented actress In a character very dif ferent from any In which she has ever been seen , and the change is enjoyed by her friends. Next Wednesday evening the students of Crclghton college will entertain their friends with a melodrama entitled , "Tho Dumb Orphan. " The play is very Interesting and Instructive , and within the easy grasp of all. It abounds In artistic music , which was compose , ! especially for It. and which has un doubtedly contributed largely to Its repeated success. The best orchestra In the city has been secured to render this part of the pro gram. There Is a vein of healthy humor running through the plot , which re lieves the deep strain of pathos aroused by the sympathy which all must feel for the sad and afflicted orphan. The entertainment is glvea under the auspices of the Altar Boys' society , nnd It Is hoped that the many friends of tha same will attend en masse. The ar rangement of the play Is as follows : The principal Interest centers In Victor Luceval , The Dumb Orphan , who has lost the power of speech upon witnessing the atrocious murder of his father. When the curtain rises eight years are supposed to have elapsed since this crime was committed , I and Victor is found enjoying the hospitality ! and paternal care of Mr. Maurice , a sculptor. I Sterne , the murderer of Luceval , who has i hitherto escaped all suspicion , now appears I upon the scene under the guise of a friend to | Count Deleval. On hearing of Victor's mis fortune , the count resolves to exert every ef fort to detect the culprit. Sterne- promises his assistance , but secretly designs the death of the poor orphan. Ho comes upon Victor when alone- , praying In a deserted hermitage for the repose of his father's soul. Ho wounds him and hurls him Into a torrent. Valentine , a former servant of Victor's Father , rescues the child from a watery 'grave. Suspicions now begin to fall on Sterne as being guilty of both the murder of Luceval and of the assault upon Victor. Valentino In troduces very strong proofs to confirm these suspicions , but the count rejects them all as Inconclusive. The last link , however. In the chain of evidence Is completed , when In the final scene Victor and Sterne come face to face for the first time , and the murderer Is at length unmasked. Tnlei Told Oat of Conrt. The lawyers of Omaha were given an , op portunity at the Young Men's Christian as sociation ball last evening to prove them selves members of a veracious profession , A number were on liniul to do this nnd passed tbe evening1 In telling yams about court room experiences. W. W. Hlnbauch xtarted the ball rollingby Informing the audience that there nre no lawyers In heaven , unllko other professions which urn represented there.
